And don't forget that they stole their own vocal melody for the first part from Unnatural Selection.

Oops, mixing up Holst and Elgar! (and I'm a classical musician, should know better!). Shows how many times I've actually listened to The Globalist though, I had it in my head that it was the 'I Vow to Thee My Country' bit from Holst - The Planets/Jupiter that they pinched for some reason.

Listening to it for the first time in ages....yup there's the bit from Unnatural Selection.

Dead Inside: Fair enough, cool track which doesn't instantly make you think of another song.Drill Sergeant: Well it's pretty much Full Metal Jacket, innit?Psycho: The same riff over and over, and over for five and a half minutes. No wait, they also stole another riff from The Doors to give us some breathing room from that other riff.Mercy: It's not a ripoff of Starlight. No, it's more like a worse band than Muse heard Starlight and said "We wanna sound like that". MEEEEEEEERCYReapers: Not much to say here.The Handler: Or here...well aside from the riff being a minute too long and thus adding another minute of pointless lull to the album.
JFK: A speech. Albeit with a string version of the solo of the song that's about to come up. Nothing wrong with that, but it just means another piece of music that isn't really original. Defector: Not much to say here either. Revolt: Aside from the chorus "You can revoooolt, with or withooouut me", not much to say.Aftermath: Cut two minutes and you have a decent song. Cut three and you don't have to pretend to like it for as long.The Globalist: Yeah, we just covered that.Drones: ...Yeah, another "cover".

+1

Dead Inside - It's not too bad. A bit like Undisclosed Desires in some ways but much heavier. Guitar solo is a bit similar to Madness but again heavier and the ending is similar to Madness and Resistance in the harmonies/suspensions but overall not too bad.

Pyscho - It's repetitive and 2 minutes too long. Same beat as Uprising (which is also 2 minutes too long) but not a cover of it by any means.

Mercy - Starlight 2.0 (except a try-hard version so maybe more like 0.5?). Nuff said.

Reapers - Decent original track although the RATM ending feels a bit unecessary.

The Handler - Fairly original again but the middle riff is too long and doesn't build anywhere.

Defector - Original but feels overworked (a bit like how Unnatural Selection is not as good as New Born)

Revolt - Revolting in every way. Why did they think this was good enough for the record?

Aftermath - A worse version of Explorers with a little bit of Gospel thrown in. Just why?

Psycho is the biggest unforgivable sin on the album for me simply because of the lyrics.
It's five minutes of repetitious fanservice that also implies that they think their fans are little boys who just learned about swears.
And then tries to come off as "political."
